Ameliorative Effects of Lycopene and L-Carnitine on CCl<sub>4</sub>-Induced Liver Fibrosis Rat Model. [PDF]
Food Sci NutrRats with CCl4‐induced liver fibrosis may benefit from the synergistic antifibrotic effects of lycopene (30 mg/kg) and L‐carnitine (200 mg/kg). Treatment improves liver function tests and lowers oxidative stress, hepatic fibrosis, LDH levels, and body weight loss.
